As Predicted Burden Dropped Out Of 1st Round

Post by Red7 »

Burden went from being a Heisman candidate and Top 10 pick to being at best, a Day 2 pick. There were a lot of factors, not all Burden’s fault. He was never the consistent dominant force he was thought to be. He was often replaced on punt returns inside the Mizzou 40. For a player of his talents his TD’s were on the low side. A lot of that though can be attributed to Cook’s inability to hit receivers in stride. Burden frequently had to wait on or come back on underthrown balls. Brady Cook may owe Burden millions. Also, some of Burden’s on field temper tantrums might have been concerns for many teams.

It took a troll like Red less than an hour to post this news.

But he won't the only one who said "I hope I'm wrong" to pile on the rest of today.

Attitude and how you handle yourself matters. Ask Shedeur Sanders.

Once the dust settles both young men will get their chance in the league to see what they can do.

Some blame goes to Burden and most of the blame goes to Drink! A couple of years ago near the end of the season Drink took back over the offensive scheme and the o went back to running the ball and mostly passing on 3rd down. He said that the offense was scoring too quick He loves a conservative offense. He even admitted it. All last year the offense was conservative as heck and fans blamed Moore and it wasn't his offensive scheme. That's what hurt Burden stats the most outside of him dropping a pass here and there. Kirby Moore's offense is a combination of creative passes and run plays.

Burden had a great, team-first attitude, and handled his personal affairs with a lot of maturity.

I'm not sure why you ask Sanders instead of Luther.

In case some of you geniuses have forgotten the idea is to win football games not worry about Luther's draft position.

I suppose Sanders should blame his dad for his drop in the draft too which is far more drastic.

Funny how you don't comment on that or is it?

He’s so predictable. He didn’t comment on Sanders because it doesn’t fit his narrative. We all know what his narrative is.

I forget, WHEN did Sanders play for Mizzou? Burden was always supposed to be the most dominant player on the field, but seldom was.

This. Other than short term money, it doesn’t matter if you are drafted at the end of round 1 or round 3. He will get his shot and the only thinks that will matter is how he performs on the field.

Yeah that's how the cookie crumbles sometimes.

Like I said he'll get his chance to shine. Besides it's the second contract these guys make the big money not the first.

Most draft projections in the immediate leadup to the draft projected that Burden had lost his first-round status. In that regard, Burden's omission from the first round was not a shock.

But, given his talent level and ability after the catch, his exclusion from the first round still stands as a surprise.

Winonsports (Lacucaracha) showing just how dumb he is yet again… reference? It’s right there being the Columbia Tribune, dummy.
